Warmer weather makes for an inviting Polar Plunge
Arguably, conditions could not have been more perfect for Pete Rogers, representing Team Surgery Shenanigans, to take the annual Polar Plunge for Special Olympics of Kentucky on Saturday afternoon, February 20.

In 2015, the event was cancelled due to a pending blizzard.

Motivated by Personal Experience, Scientist Seeks Answers About Spinal Cord Injury
At the age of 19, Sasha Rabchevsky was a strong safety on the Hampden-Sydney College football team when a motorcycle accident left him paralyzed from the chest down.
